Joe "Diesel" Riggs appreciation thread!

How can you not appreciate a guy with the nickname "Diesel"?

One of the hardest sounding nicknames P4P. Not to mention he's a veteran and has survived wars in and out of the octagon. *cough* shotgun *cough*

Are you being sarcastic?


Dude has a great nickname since he is a blue collar type dude,hits hard and his dad owns a Diesel plant!

WAR RIGGS!!!!

It's insane that he's only 32. He's such a fixture in MMA. If I showed up to a gym and he was there, I'd mark out just because I've seen his distinctive tattoos for so long on late night cable and grainy streams from 2004.

One of the most remarkably well-traveled careers in MMA history, from the highest of heights (what would have been a UFC title shot) to the lowest of lows (fighting in smokers as a flabby HW; shooting himself accidentally, etc.). He should write a book.

It sure surprised me when I watched the tale of the tape of his fight against Saunder and found out he was only 32 years old. The man has been in the business for quite some time.
 
All you guys are making me feel bad for basically remembering him by the Sanchez finish
 
I've liked him since he fought Diaz in the hospital.

Jesus. I've seen you post about Riggs dozens of times now and I'm barely ever on here. Either you're taking fanboyism to a whole new level or you're actually Joe Riggs himself.

What's with your love for the guy? Nothing about him is particularly interesting or unique aside from how old his face looks. Dude's face looks like a catcher's mitt and he's not even 33 yet.

It was pretty nostalgic watching him fight on live tv. Seems just yesterday he was the young prospect that they were marketing against Ivan salaverry
 
Diego knocking him out when was awesome. One of my fav KO's of all time.
 
Cote made him look a fool and his Ben Saunders fight was a joke.

I'm waiting for a good performance from him.
